Piercing in Portugal sits within the same framework as tattoo — no specific national legislation. SecuSteri gives you a professional digital register that signals to your client that your studio is above the market.
Piercing in Portugal shares the same regulatory void as tattoo: no specific national legislation governs the activity. The applicable rules are those of any commercial establishment (CAE registration, complaints book, fire safety, accessibility) and ASAE oversight under general legislation. APPTBP, which also represents piercing professionals, recommends Class B autoclaves for sterilizing reusable forceps and receiving tubes, sterile single-use needles, and jewelry-handling protocols compatible with medical use (titanium, 14k+ gold, borosilicate glass). Piercers who choose to document sterilization build a professional differentiator in a market without formal entry barriers — and stay ahead of any future regulatory change.
